The Broadway Translations
A series of the most remarkable and interesting books in foreign languages of all ages. The labor of reading foreign languages in their original tongue distracts the attention from an adequate appreciation of the meaning, and great works exist in more than a dozen different languages so that not one reader in a million is equipped to enjoy the great lights of literature except in translation.
Each volume contains an Introduction explaining the peculiar significance of the work and placing it adequately in its historical background.
The Series contains:
Petronius’s Satyricon
The Girdle of Aphrodite
Master Tyll Owlglass
Voltaire’s Zadig and Other Romances
Montesquieu’s Persian Letters
Cyrano de Bergerac’s Voyages to the Moon and the Sun
